Who needs roses when you have adeniums, they come in so many colors, hues, shapes, sizes and variations.
The are absolutely non fussy too.. Just don't give them too much love and they are fine.
They need well draining soil.. this is an absolute must for these plants.. they do well in cacti soil or even in bonsai soil.. just a light monthly feeding with fertilizers is enough to keep the plant in ship shape and blooming abundantly.
It needs about 6-8 hours of direct sun..
I love adeniums.. but lost so many when it rained incessantly for days.. I couldn't bring them all indoors. .

@rsa101 actually it should do well in your type of climate too.. Not too many people know about adeniums. most people have the wild variety and are not to keen on them.. But Thailand and Indonesia are the hubs for these plants.. Most of the plants online are sold by sellers from these countries.

Now I know this garden plant because I have few of them, like the variegated white/green leaves with red flowers

@responsiveme I have tried camellias but i have never had any success with my kind of climate .. I have seen a few sellers from Assam on facebook.. so i guess it should work for you.

@sofssu looks like the camellia but those are very difficult to grow
